HARTFORD — In what might the last match for longtime Terryville High girls volleyball coach Linda Farrington, No. 5 Terryville was defeated by top-seeded Coventry in a Class S semifinal, 3-0, on Wednesday.

"We just played a team that wasn't beatable," said Farrington. "We did the best we could possibly do and played hard until the end of the match."

Marina Rose led the Patriots (21-0) with 20 kills and 20 digs, while her sister, Emma Rose, added 38 assists and six digs.

"They're the best team in Connecticut," stated Farrington. "They're well-disciplined and have tremendous height."

Terryville (19-2) was led by senior Anna Dupaul, who had six kills and 10 digs. Bailey Doran added eight kills, while Mckenzie Witham contributed two blocks for the Kangaroos.

Farrington said that if she does decide to retire, this season would be a great way for her to go out. Terryville won the Berkshire League and had three All-BL players on the squad.
